Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Hence it could be concluded that ‘It is the upper limit of a task that a learner can successfully perform independently’ is not true about ‘Zone of Proximal Development’.

Detailed explanation-2: -For example, imagine a student has just mastered basic addition. At this point, basic subtraction may enter their zone of proximal development, meaning that they have the ability to learn subtraction and will likely be able to master it with guidance and support.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) was a key construct in Lev Vygotsky’s theory of learning and development. The Zone of Proximal Development is defined as the space between what a learner can do without assistance and what a learner can do with adult guidance or in collaboration with more capable peers.

Detailed explanation-4: -Play is the source of development and creates the zone of proximal development. Action in the imaginary sphere, in an imagined situation, the creation of voluntary intentions and the formation of real-life plans and volitional motives – all appear in play and makes it the highest level of preschool development.
